Believer in Jesus Christ! The truth can hurt but it can help! The Bible mentions dumb people! Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding comes from God! Proverbs 2:6
Jesus was not a Christian.
If anything, He was a Jew.
He Himself made that clear when He said to the Samaritan woman:
“You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.”
- John 4:22 (NKJV)
Even His Hebrew name declares who He is. Yeshua (יֵשׁוּעַ) means “salvation.” Indeed, salvation is of the Jews.
He came into the world as a Jew, lived as a Jew, died as a Jew, rose again as a Jew, and will return as the Jewish Messiah. That is why Scripture calls Him:
“Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed…”
- Revelation 5:5 (NKJV)
A Christian is a follower of the Messiah. You cannot be a follower of the Messiah if you are the Messiah. He is the Messiah whom all people are called to follow, regardless of their ethnicity, nationality, or religious background.
“Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
- Acts 4:12 (NKJV)
In Malachi 3:6, God declares:
“For I am the Lord, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.”
God’s unchanging nature is powerfully displayed in the very existence of Israel.
To suggest that God has changed His mind about Israel is, in effect, to call Him a liar.
This is precisely why Paul wrote in Romans 3:1–4:
“What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God. For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar.”
Israel’s preservation is not a testimony to the faithfulness of the Jewish people, but to the faithfulness of God.
Instead of mocking, slandering, or hating the Jewish people, we should celebrate their very existence. They are living proof that God keeps His promises.
If you support any movement or group that calls for Israel’s destruction, you are aligning yourself with those who oppose God’s declared purposes.
Finally, if you come against Israel, it is ultimately because you have a problem with the God of Israel. You hate Him - and you are His enemy.
Psalm 83:1-4 makes this unmistakably clear:
“Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God! For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. They have said, ‘Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.’”
And concerning His enemies, Psalm 68:1 declares:
“Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; Let those who hate Him flee before Him.”
@EndGameWW3 I wouldn't be surprised if Iran does something dirty either. Personally I'd leave any ground maneuvers out of anything that could have any sense of uncertainty.
@EndGameWW3 I had to delete my prior posting. Still trying to wake up here. I would think not, but at this time it's going to be hard to tell. I don't think the market's are playing a factor in anything at the moment.
I do think it could be escalating towards the Biblical end of the age.
